A Poetic Engagement

My Life Changed

Posted by Julian Froment

0

You changed my life,
Or rather, me one gave,
From a bitter existence,
My heart thou didst save

Before was darkness,
But you gave me light,
Completing my soul,
Making everything right

Without direction,
All motivation lost,
I was all adrift,
At sea, to my cost

A blinding light,
A clarion call,
Thus began,
A future most full

Love and beauty,
Now rule my days,
Joy and happiness,
A euphoric haze

Where before there was pain,
Misery and grey,
Now is ecstasy,
Each and every day

Our story began,
A destiny great,
As my life,
Took a turn of fate

And in that book,
We have blank pages,
To record the perfection,
Of us through the ages

I Had a Dream

Posted by Julian Froment

0

I remember a dream,
I once had,
A dream of perfection,
Of a woman I would meet.

A Maid that would,
Complete my soul,
Driving away,
Those feelings so grey.

Someone that just got me,
As I did them
A woman with whom,
To write the perfect story.

The dream was buried,
For many a long year,
Until you came along,
And allayed all fear.

I yearned for a connection,
Solid and true,
A union I found
Only when I met you.

We met with words,
Across a vast wasteland,
A delay before we met,
And I asked for your hand.

I’d found my soul mate,
Now I knew what that meant,
The other half of me,
You were heaven sent.

Cacophony

Posted by Julian Froment

0

Joined in unison,
Bodies as one,
Gently rocking
Our pleasure begun.

Deep inside,
Your heavenly grace,
That look of ecstasy,
Upon your face.

As passion rises,
Moans escape lips,
Bucking and thrusting,
Your gyrating hips.

Hair flying,
The arch of your back,
My hands on your breasts,
Of ardour no lack.

A white hot fire,
Burns in my loins,
As I start to spasm,
My whole body doth rejoice.

A perfect connection,
Of us two,
Alone in the universe,
Just me and you.

And then release,
Joyous and profound,
A cacophonous explosion,
Love knows no bound.

Then tender moments,
Wrapped in each other,
There could be no more,
Perfect lover.

The First Time

Posted by Julian Froment

0

 

The first time you wrote,
A comment for me,
I could hardly know,
What this would grow to be

The first time we emailed
Privately, of course,
My heart soared and sailed
And you were the source

The first time we texted
More instantaneous now,
The fens to be excepted,
Where 3G is a sow

The first time we spoke
Your beautiful voice,
Took my breath away,
Made me rejoice

The first time we skyped
And I saw your face,
My heart it did flutter,
At your angelic grace

The first time we met,
In the physical world,
Everything shifted,
As my soul unfurled

The first time we kissed
And sizzling sparks flew,
Our lips they touched,
And our love grew

The first time we made …
Such intimate joy,
From the heavens above,
Just a girl and a boy

And all of these firsts,
Led to seconds and thirds,
An infinity of ecstasies,
That you bring unto me.

The ultimate love,
United and free,
Together always,
Is what we shall be.

Just One Look

Posted by Julian Froment

Just One Look

That look on her face,
The glint in her eyes,
A vision of grace,
No hint of disguise.

A heart so full,
A soul so vast,
A perfect jewel,
Beauty unsurpassed.

I watch with wonder,
Unadulterated love.
A clap of thunder,
From the skies above.

Mine heart doth beat,
A mighty tattoo,
My soul complete,
Because of you.

Why We Write Poetry

Posted by Julian Froment

7

Having recently released another couple of poetry collections, ‘A Poetic Engagement’, and ‘Starry Night’, I thought that it was worth reblogging a post from some time ago regarding why it is that we write poetry. I hope that new followers enjoy this, and old followers do not become bored by it.

With the release of my poetry collection, ‘A Poetic Proposal’, I have been pondering, musing if you will, on why it is that we write poetry. Reflecting further upon what I consider a rather interesting question, I came up with a few reasons why it is that I like to write poetry.

We will get on to some of those thoughts shortly. I figured that there must be as many different reasons for writing poetry as there are poets out there. What is it that motivates us? Is every poet different or are there commonalities that can be observed? What is it that gave each of us that first initial spark, that push to write poetry?

Not satisfied with just my own thoughts and opinions I decided to garner those of some of my favourite, blogging poets to help me answer this question. It was very illuminating to discover why it is that each of them writes poetry.

Personally, I have always had a fondness for words, and for language in general, for puns, wordplay, and rhymes. I used to invent myriad little rhymes, couplets, and wordplays, but being the lewd Englishman many of them are not suitable for public consumption, not even here in the sanctity of this blog reserved for ‘Life, Literature, and Lewd Comments’.

I also enjoy the intellectual challenge of trying to convey my thoughts, feelings, emotions, in words.

I never really found that I had much to say in the past. Then one day, like a blinding light from the heavens above, I went and fell in love. It was as if my heart and soul exploded in a shower of coruscating light, an iridescence of bright, blinding colours, and just like that I suddenly had something to say.

There were a million raging emotions coursing through my head, trying to escape the confines of my mind, my heart, my soul. I now had a reason. A reason to write, to express myself to someone, to the woman that I love. I wanted her to know how I felt about her, for her to be able to experience the emotions that she excited within me. I am fully aware that mere words are insufficient to fully relate these emotions, but I want to do my utmost to convey these feelings to her, and also to others. To show the world how I feel.

So, that is me. My motivation for writing poetry, but what about some others. Below I have quoted the thoughts of three of my favourite poets, Dominic, Pamela, and Ellespeth. I heartily recommend reading their blogs and experiencing their poetry for yourselves.

‘I have written poetry since I was a pre-teen, primarily because I loved words, but also because I felt that I had something important to say, at least as much as any pre-teen boy could. As a very shy person by nature, I was never comfortable speaking my thoughts and feelings verbally, though I was quite comfortable putting them on paper and I found poetry to be the perfect avenue. I stopped writing poetry through much of my teenage and adult years up until a few years ago and from the first moment that I put pen to paper after this long absence it has almost become an addiction. I guess in the end I write poetry for the sheer love of it.’ – Dominic DiFranceso, Black and Write

‘I think that writing poetry started as a way to get my feelings out of my heart and head. The longer I have written though I find that I need to write. Writing poetry has been a way to express myself. Poetry (at least the forms I use) forces me to be very intentional with my words.’ – Pamela Beckford, Poetry by Pamela

Despite her lovely words, Pamela prefers to use poetry, in this case a tanka, to express herself and has written this beautiful poem to help us understand better why she writes poetry.

Words and emotions
Entwine to express myself
Feelings are heartfelt
Words tumble out of my lips
Nothing can stop their free flow

and finally

‘The older I get, the clearer the answer becomes: I write to honor life. There are also moments when something I’ve been questioning is suddenly distilled into a very short poem – just enough words for my heart to manage then and there. I used to kick myself for not keeping a journal. Now I realize that my poetry is my journal.’ – Ellespeth, Views From A Poet

So there are, it seems, many varied reasons why we write poetry, and I am sure that we have not even scratched the surface here. I hope that this has given a little insight into the mind of the poet, whilst highlighting that there is no single answer to this question. Thank you so very much to Dominic, Pamela, and Ellespeth for taking the time to contribute.

If you have ever written poetry why not take a few minutes to reflect on why that is. What attracted you to poetry as a form? Was it a one off, or do you write poetry consistently? Do you write both poetry and prose, more of one than the other? Have a think and please share your thoughts in the comments. Add to the body of knowledge.

A Poetic Engagement

Posted by Julian Froment

Some of you may remember the poetry book that I published nearly two years ago, “A Poetic Proposal”. Well, there is now a sequel available that continues this theme of love poetry dedicated to the woman that completes my soul, Ionia, “A Poetic Engagement”. Here is an excerpt, followed by details of how to get your very own copy of this highly sought after volume.

Cacophony

Joined in unison,
Bodies as one,
Gently rocking
Our pleasure begun.

Deep inside,
Your heavenly grace,
That look of ecstasy,
Upon your face.

As passion rises,
Moans escape lips,
Bucking and thrusting,
Your gyrating hips.

Hair flying,
The arch of your back,
My hands on your breasts,
Of ardour no lack.

A white hot fire,
Burns in my loins,
As I start to spasm,
My whole body doth rejoice.

A perfect connection,
Of us two,
Alone in the universe,
Just me and you.

And then release,
Joyous and profound,
A cacophonous explosion,
Love knows no bound.

Then tender moments,
Wrapped in each other,
There could be no more,
Perfect lover.
